Even with a 7 string in standard tuning you're only a 5th above a 4-string bass's bottom end! I like alternate tunings for acoustic stuff and because it either a) makes you think about new fingerings, or b) gives you new sounds from the same fingerings. I enjoy playing with Open Dm (DADFAD), and I think Opeth's "Ghost Reveries" might've been in that tuning. (At least, I've seen some tabs of songs arranged in that tuning...)

So many great ideas on tuning possibilities here and string gauge tips... I think I need to acquire enough guitars for each tuning, LOL. I def want to get a baritone guitar someday and give that a whirl. Killer post SVH!

You summed it best saying "Alternate tunings are just one more way of utilizing the power of vibrations in all ranges of frequency."
